Keeping The Roof Over Your Head Keeping the roof over your head in good shape is crucial to avoiding costly leaks and damage to your home and belongings.

The exterior doors on your home provide security and curb appeal, but can also provide energy efficiency and comfort. You may want to consider replacing one or more exterior doors if they are hard to shut or open, won't lock, have been damaged or show signs of rot or rust. Many times when replacing an exterior door, it is necessary to adjust the framing. We can install a front door, back door, side door, patio door, or garage door, or all of them at once if you're doing a total remodel or a home addition.

Wood trim and moulding may not seem important at first glance, but it's finishing details like these that can set a room apart.

We can help. We can make recommendations based on the room size, ceiling height, overall feel of the home, and most of all, based on your tastes and budget. If you can provide us with pictures to give an example of what you're thinking, that's even better.

Custom sunrooms from the Dan Banks Company let you bring the outdoors in, year round. By enclosing your patio, porch or deck with sunrooms that match the architectural style of your home, you can recapture your outdoor space and backyard views and create a room that adds drama and beauty to a space that is otherwise unused on cold and dreary days. And if you decide to move, a sunroom can add to the resale value of your home. We also have experience designing and building sunroom additions from the ground up.

We can build you a detached garage or an attached garage, depending on your lot size, your budget and your needs.

Cedar siding is a natural choice for a beautiful home exterior. Real cedar siding instantly adds warmth and beauty to your home. You can't get that with machine-made siding. The look, the feel and the scent of natural wood just can't be duplicated in a manufacturing plant.

Western red cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay and insect infestation.
